ABOUT

In the spirit of Ideas Worth Spreading, TEDxCary unites the thinkers, doers, and dreamers of our community to share ideas that challenge perspectives and spark meaningful change.

As part of the global TEDx movement — where x = independently organized TED event — TEDxCary brings the TED experience to a local stage. Through thought-provoking talks, performances, and curated TED videos, we create space for connection, curiosity, and creativity to thrive.

While TED provides the framework, TEDxCary is proudly self-organized — shaped by the voices, vision, and diversity of Cary, North Carolina. Every idea shared, every conversation sparked, and every perspective explored reflects the unique energy of our community and its commitment to innovation and impact.
